Behavioral Health

PTS has built its reputation for providing the best value for your related services dollars. In reflecting that commitment in our behavioral health practice, we offer tiered levels of expertise depending on the needs of individual students and academic programs. We work with administration to establish protocols that ensure that resources are directed to and triaged by the appropriate specialist. Our approach to behavioral health utilizes a collaborative path between teachers, related services professionals and behavior specialists, ensuring that the whole team is on the same page.

PTS’ Behavioral Health team includes:

Board Certified Behavior Analysts

Licensed Behavior Specialists

Registered Behavior Technicians

Applied Behavior Analysis Instructors

PTS provides these credentialed specialists, but does not provide the un-credentialed paraprofessional supports often recommended in behavioral assessment as the Company believes that barrier avoids a potential conflict of interest. By providing only the assessment and consulting components of behavioral programming and not the placement of additional support professionals, PTS ensures that the process remains entirely objective and in the best interest of the district and students.

PTS recommends an MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) Approach for Behavioral Health, as we do for other therapeutic services. Empowering teachers and paraprofessionals with strategies that can be effectively employed with all students using Tier 1 interventions improves the classroom environment for everyone.
